Ukraine Drone Attack Sparks Blasts in Crimea

Blasts were reported near the bridge connecting Russian-occupied Crimea to the Russian mainland, with Russian-appointed officials attributing the explosions to a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian tanker. The tanker was damaged and unable to operate independently, prompting the dispatch of tugboats for assistance. Additionally, a Russian warship was seriously damaged in a Ukrainian naval drone attack on Russia's navy base at Novorossiysk. While Russia-installed officials in Crimea denied any connection to the bridge, which has previously been targeted, Ukrainian news reports and pro-Russian officials claimed responsibility for the attacks. Ukraine has not officially commented on the incident.
